LOVE the pick! Was scared they were going to do something stupid to try and get Sanchez. Robs predicted that the Jets wouldn't give up picks to move up but they did. They gave up next year's first AND second round picks to get Sanchez. Hopefully for their sake he is decent. I'd be worried that moving the east coast and playing in NYC will eat Sanchez up. Whatever. I don't care as long as we didn't get him.
We get Orakpo and fill a HUGE need at DE. This guy is a beast and gives our already very good defense another boost. Our D line is Orakpo, Haynesworth, Griffin, and Carter that should be pretty formidable. It should also allow us to only have to rush the front four which plays into Blache's scheme and allow the rest of the defense to cover. Our defense alone should keep us in games. Seriously, if we can score 17+ points per game, we should at least go 10-6. 20+ points a game should make us at least 11-5.
I am SO grateful the Skins didn't blow it with Sanchez and we got the guy I wanted in Orakpo. We fill a HUGE need AND JC gets the opportunity to prove he can be the franchise QB.
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

HAIL SKINS!!!
Great pick. I wanted an OT like Michael Oher, but I cannot complain about this. We got perhaps the best D-lineman available without trading away picks in the process. The D-line should be able to create pressure on its own without over committing LBs and safeties to the pass rush. I am psyched.
I'm also glad we didn't over spend to move up for Sanchez. Based on what I've read, it sounds like the front office would have traded some picks to get him, but in the end the asking price was too steep. Great decision. It restores some faith in Danny Boy for me. I think Sanchez would have done well with the 'Skins in a year or two, but I like Campbell and I think he's going to play out of his mind this season.
Great pick! Hail to the Redskins!
Restores some faith? Why? The only reason he didn't fritter away more picks was because he has already frittered away enough picks.
The whole Sanchez man crush that Danny Boy had only served to alienate his starting QB - who is a pretty good player. We'll see if it has any lasting effects.
